Thursday's Sound Off

To all the Democrats saying the Republicans want to privatize Social Security, you’d better do some research. Tucked in a bill passed by the Democratic Senate, the liberal Democrats in the federal government are moving the percentage of the Social Security Trust Fund into the Social Security Disability Fund because since Obama has taken office there are 20 percent more people on Social Security Disability than under any other previous administration.

I read the column, “Millions of illegals live in limbo in the U.S.,” written by Steve and Cokie Roberts who I think are advertising for Obama. They got the thing wrong with Jesus and they got the thing wrong now. We have a problem supporting and taking care of those Americans. If people want to come here, let them go and try for citizenship. This isn’t a freebie and that’s what Obama wants to do but it’s all about votes.

To Proud Democrat, please name the last five mayors of Detroit and their affiliation.

NORCO JOE

There goes Rick Perry’s chances for president. He’s just been indicted. He was just telling the president he’s doing the job wrong. I guess he should have told himself he did the job wrong. Another Republican down the drain.

School will start in a few weeks and I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the people who do a big part of work in the schools and receive the least amount of money and praise throughout the school year. I’m talking about the bus drivers, the kitchen workers, all the aides, the custodians, maintenance workers. And they’re the first ones to be cut. Just want them to know how appreciated they are and they will always be needed. This is for Senior Norman. If Obama broke the law, then why don’t they impeach him?

Zone 1 street sweeping complete. Two borough employees to remove the signs left signs on one of the streets — there’s signs on both sides of that street. The cars are back by Friday and the trash is back on the street by Saturday. Winner winner nothing for dinner, unless you go to Pottstown schools you can get breakfast and lunch for free.

A response to the comment about the Section 8 renters, yes some Section 8 renters are bad and destroy people’s properties but then there are those who work and do everything they’re supposed to do and then they have the landlords who are so interested in collecting the money they won’t invest it back into their properties. So get your facts straight. It is slumlords out there and they’re just in it for the money.

Martha, your comment to Reedy was cute but it only shows there are still some people in this country who have no clue. At the same point in George Bush’s presidency he had 407 vacation days compared to 125 days by President Obama. Get over it.

Once again our great nation has shown the world that we not only have little compassion for the refugees in need, we lack the willingness to extend rights to our own people.

I read the other week where the Phoenixville School District director of operations picked out four individuals to give them a nice raise even though they are contract union employees. This is truly a slap in the face to all the other employees. Show me again that the Phoenixville Area School District administrators can do no wrong.

I read an article about the Freedom From Religion Foundation wanted Bibles to be removed from base lodges. Although the decision has been reversed I’m getting very tired of them saying they don’t want to see the Bible, Ten Commandments, crosses, the manger scene at Christmas or any other religion item or scene. Here’s some advice for you, don’t look.

REPORTING LIVE FROM THE GARAGE

When I’m in the recreation room of my house, you can’t even hear yourself think because of all the shooting at the Community Rod and Gun Club in Bechtelsville. When this gun club opened, there were restrictions on what you could and couldn’t shoot. The kind of ammunition that they are blowing away hour after hour on a Saturday or Sunday is ridiculous. You have to wear earplugs in your own back yard. They need to do something about it or shut it down.

To all you big Hillary supporters for 2016, I would like for you to tell me one, just one, good thing that she has done as First Lady, senator of New York and secretary of state. Just one thing, name it for me, because there is not one thing that this woman has done for the United States of America.
